Reasons to Sell

Our goal is to help you make the right decision about whether or not to sell your house. If you do decide to sell, we want to make sure that you get as many dollars and as few upset stomachs from the sale as possible.

People's reasons for wanting to sell their houses are almost as varied as the houses themselves. Here are some of the common, not-so common, and downright bizarre reasons that have prompted sellers we've known over the years to put their houses on the market:

School district
Neighborhood
Better job opportunities elsewhere
Recent marriage or divorce
Recent death of spouse
Additional debt burden due to layoff, medical expenses, disability, or overspending
Serious house defects that they don't want to fix
Increased space desires for expanding family
Diminished space requirements now that kids are grown
Noisy neighborhood
Unfriendly neighbors
Neighborhood shopping
